Minglong

Chapter 190 Wine Pond and Meat Forest!

As night deepened, the music ended and the audience dispersed.

Wanyi brought her child to the banquet, but dared not stay overnight. When the landlady returned to the palace, she left with her in a carriage, and no one could stop her.

Xie Jinhuan felt a little regretful. After watching the convoy drive away, he returned to the empty, huge mansion.

Although the landlady left him a few maids and servants, they were all from the Prince's mansion, and Nai Duo was not among them. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to act arrogantly, so he told the maids to go and rest, and returned to the main room to prepare to go to Fengyi River.

As soon as they entered the main house, they found a tall female warrior dressed in a black dress standing under the plaque of "Upright Gentleman" with a sword in hand.

The veil obscured the back of her head, but her slender waist, with its rounded and pert shape, was fully visible, exuding a cold and ethereal beauty, yet retaining a graceful charm...

Xie Jinhuan smiled naturally when he saw Bing Tuozi deliver himself to his door, and walked over to stand side by side with him:

"This plaque was won from Jinlou and hung here. It's a bit unworthy of the plaque."

"?"

Nangong Ye is striking a pose here to remind Xie Jinhuan that his words and actions should live up to these four words!

Hearing this, she was immediately interrupted from casting a spell. After a moment's consideration, she responded coolly:

"Since you know you have shortcomings, you must correct them. As a righteous hero, you must restrain your desires and not be too indulgent, otherwise you will fall into the demonic path."

Xie Jinhuan pondered that he hadn't been indecent; he was merely trying to please his patron. He turned his head to look at the woman in black:

"You're bringing gifts because I'm moving in? What are they?"

Nangong Ye was definitely not giving it to him; with a flick of his wrist, he took out a jade flute.
"Moving to a new home is a big event, and I naturally have to show my respects when I see it. Please don't find it offensive."

Xie Jinhuan took the jade flute, examined it, nodded slightly, then sat down on the couch and brought it to his lips:
"Woo~~"

The sound of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) is not as clear and bright as that of the flute; it is gentle and deep, with a more profound and ethereal quality.

Nangong Ye listened for a moment, then sat down on the other side of the small table. When the music ended, he asked in confusion:
"Your martial arts skills are already impeccable, so how come you also know so many unorthodox techniques?"

"Martial arts are for survival, these are for living. This flute is really nice, I appreciate your skill. Can you play it?"

Nangong Ye was certain, but sensing the hidden meaning in Xie Jinhuan's words, he didn't dare to respond.

"Is there anything else? If not... I'll head back now."

Xie Jinhuan naturally had something to do.

When he went to the Lin residence that afternoon to fetch the adult and child, he had already taken the 'Diamond Dew' with him and also retrieved the "Adding Fuel to the Fire" pills. Now, he took out the medicine bottle and popped one directly into his mouth.
"You're not going to treat the poison?"

?

Nangong Ye definitely needs to detoxify, but this is Xie Jinhuan's new home, and she has no official status here. What kind of logic is it for her to detoxify here...?

Xie Jinhuan took the medicine without saying a word, and Nangong Ye didn't know what to say. He looked around, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Xie Jinhuan didn't stand on ceremony. She got up and came to her, lifted her veil, and her stunningly beautiful face immediately appeared before her eyes, just like when a bride lifts her veil on her wedding night.

Nangong Ye's body stiffened slightly, but since it had all been agreed upon yesterday, he couldn't refuse. He just frowned.

"Are you here to detoxify?"

"You want to go to the bedroom? I'm afraid you won't like it..."

How could Nangong Ye not want to go to the bedroom and insist on messing around in the living room? She pressed her hand down, got up, and followed him upstairs.

Although following the blond-haired man upstairs was a difficult and complicated experience, his demeanor remained as steady as a rock.

However, she couldn't stay calm for long!

Xie Jinhuan arrived at the spacious room on the second floor and saw that there was no furniture at all, except for a huge round bed in the center, covered with red sheets and red gauze hanging around it.

Colorful glass lamps hung from the ceiling, and hooks for hanging ribbons were placed beside them. A sign hung at the entrance that read "Pavilion of Pleasure"—all the quirky ideas of the little housekeeper, Naido…

Upon entering, Nangong Ye noticed the ambiguous furnishings and abruptly stopped, realizing he had inadvertently stumbled into the torture chamber!

What the hell kind of place?

Is hanging a ribbon meant to make someone hang themselves...?

This is no better than the living room!
Nangong Ye turned and walked away without a word, but the white-robed young man blocked the doorway, his eyes slightly cold:

"How could you decorate the room like this?"

Xie Jinhuan shrugged slightly: "The bed is a bit big, and there's no one around, so it'll have to do."

Nangong Ye had no idea how much he would be forced to learn and how much his Dao heart would be corrupted by spending the night here. He raised his hand and pushed Xie Jinhuan out.
There are other rooms available; I won't stay here with you.

“There are maids sleeping over there; people will hear us.”

Xie Jinhuan really wanted to try out the new house, but Bing Tuozi was unwilling, so he naturally didn't force her and took her by the wrist to the downstairs bathroom.

The bathroom was not a bathtub, but a pool about ten feet square, made of white stone, with a chaise lounge and other items around it.

Although the weather was a bit cool in September, Xie Jinhuan was too hot, so he took off his robe as soon as he entered the room and plunged inside.

wow~
Nangong Ye stood at the doorway, his eyes wide with shock. It was as if a Daoist fairy, untouched by worldly dust, had accidentally wandered into the Hehuan Sect, and wherever she went, she felt utterly ashamed and indignant, finding it hard to accept.

"You...you're taking a cold shower to cool down? Let me get you a towel..."

wow~
Xie Jinhuan emerged from the water, her long hair cascading down her back. She removed her soft armor, revealing the lines of her chest and abdomen, sculpted like jade.

"Why don't you come down too? Of course, but I won't force you if you don't want to. I'll just soak for a while." Nangong Ye stood at the edge of the bathtub, holding a towel. His posture was upright, his face icy, but his eyes held a hint of helplessness.
"Can't you go to a normal place?"

"You know that soaking in water will make you feel better if you have internal heat."

"..."

Nangong Ye did know, but how could he suffer with this boy in the water?
The words have already been spoken...

"Just this once, we'll go to Fengyi River next time!"

"Sigh, maybe the poison will be neutralized tonight."

"..."

rustling~
Xie Jinhuan leaned against the bathtub, where he could see the black-clad female warrior standing on the shore. Her eyes were full of disdain, but her hands were still hesitantly loosening her belt, revealing her smooth, jade-like waist and long legs...

Perhaps feeling embarrassed by his gaze, she tossed a towel over and covered her face, and then:
wow-

Water splashed everywhere.

Xie Jinhuan rested his arms on the edge of the bathtub, adopting a rather domineering posture. After waiting quietly for only a moment, he noticed a soft, warm mass resting against his right arm. At the same time, his left arm also leaned against a warm, soft body, their breathing as gentle as honey.

"Whoo~"

? ?
Xie Jinhuan shook off the towel and saw that Bing Tuozi had covered his eyes with a black silk cloth, his face flushed, leaning against him with his arms crossed and not making a sound.

On the left, a ghost in a red swimsuit leans lazily against an arm, splashing water on her neckline with her hand, her eyes alluring and captivating.

"Mmm~ Does it feel good?"

Xie Jinhuan felt refreshed and secretly kissed his ghost wife before slipping into the water.

Wow~
Nangong Ye was soaking in the pool, unable to see anything except for the sensation of a large shark in the water. Startled, she tried to kick with her feet, but it grabbed her.

"Xie Jinhuan, don't go too far!"

"Gurgle gurgle~ gurgle gurgle..."

The meaning is probably—hehehe~ This is beyond the control of the heroine Mu…

?

Nangong Ye gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and turned his head away.

Ye Hongshang leaned against him, propping her cheek with her hand, watching Xie Jinhuan eat and take things with great interest, occasionally teasing him with her jade-like foot...

……
-
The next day.

Xie Jinhuan dressed in front of the dressing mirror, her hair neatly arranged, humming a little tune:

"Uh huh huh~~"

Nangong Ye had taken a shower all night, his body clean and spotless, his hair tied up. He stood alone outside the bunk bed, his eyes radiating a murderous aura as if to say, "The icy female CEO has been tricked by that blond-haired guy."
"You clearly have normal rooms here! Why did you lie to me?"

"I already said, soak it in water to cool it down."

After tidying up, Xie Jinhuan came forward and took out the medicine bottle:

"If you keep yelling at me, I'll keep taking my medicine."

"..."

Nangong Ye gritted his teeth, but he was also afraid that this brat would again lack martial ethics and snatch the medicine bottle away.
"I'm going back now. You can go and attend to your business."

Xie Jinhuan blocked their way: "I've received a notice from Xueying Ridge. I want the 'Tiger Bone Vine,' so I have to go to Sanjiangkou."

Nangong Ye knew the importance of the Tiger Bone Vine. Once Xie Jinhuan obtained it, there would be no more hurdles to reaching the Super Grade realm, and he could directly step into the Fourth Realm after reaching the Perfection of the Third Realm.

However, because of its amazing effects, Wei Wuyi used it as a prize to win the championship, which was enough to attract a large number of first-rank martial artists, including many top talents, making it extremely difficult to obtain.

"You might not be able to get one right now, are you planning to leave today?"

Xie Jinhuan knew his own situation. He could contend with a normal first-grade martial artist, but if he encountered a late-stage first-grade martial artist, no matter how good his skills were, he would be overwhelmed. Therefore, he needed to use the next three or four days to improve his cultivation level.

He still had some of the effects of the "Life-Generating Pill" in his body. When this medicine took effect, it was like a system update, which would force him to shut down. He would probably need to sleep for a few days, and it would take two days to travel from the capital to the Sanjiang Estuary.

Therefore, he wanted to arrive in time and improve his strength. He could only wait until the 'Transformation Pill' was refined today, then immediately set off by boat, sleep on the way, and sleep all the way to the confluence of the three rivers before leaving the pass.

Xie Jinhuan explained his arrangements to Bing Tuozi, and then said:
"Why don't you come along? The conference might not be over in a day. I can help you detoxify during my free time, so that you can recover before the end of the month."

Under the pressure of the demoness, Nangong Ye had to follow Xie Jinhuan everywhere he went, and could only nod in agreement.
"Then I'll go back and pack."

Seeing the complex look in Bing Tuozi's eyes, and realizing that he no longer possessed his usual sharp, assertive demeanor, Xie Jinhuan hesitated for a moment before raising his hand as Bing Tuozi turned away:
Snapped--

A crisp, pleasant sound of swatting a mosquito rang out from inside the bedroom.

Nangong Ye's steps suddenly froze, and her beautiful phoenix eyes slowly widened, revealing a sharpness that could freeze a thousand miles!

Then he turned around, pinned the brat to the bed, and gave him a good beating. After that, he snorted and stormed off!

Xie Jinhuan thought this tasted just right, and got up contentedly. He straightened his ruffled robes, turned around, and left the mansion...
